The US politicians who took the massacre that claimed the lives of three people believe that the incident proves that strict gun restrictions do not prevent shootings.
The mass shooting that took place in a shopping center in Copenhagen on Sunday has already been included in the debate about gun restrictions in the United States.
According to several Republican politicians who commented on the massacre on social media, the shooting that led to the death of three people and the serious wounding of four people proves that strict gun restrictions do not prevent violence.
In the United States, gun restrictions sharply divide the political field, and Democrats and Republicans have only been able to agree on very minor tightening of gun laws.
An American who reported on politicians’ comments Newsweek (you will switch to another service) tells its readers that fully automatic weapons are prohibited in Denmark and that a special permit is required to own semi-automatic weapons and handguns. There must be a good reason for obtaining a gun permit, and the permit is not granted to minors, those with a criminal record, or those suffering from psychological problems.
sitting in the US House of Representatives Lauren Boebert already had to publish a tweet about it on Sunday.
– In Denmark, which has one of the strictest gun restrictions in Europe, a mass shooting has just happened. It’s time to admit that gun laws don’t prevent mass shootings, Boebert wrote.
A candidate for the House of Representatives in the autumn elections Willie J. Montague tweeted on Sunday that he was praying not only for the people of Copenhagen, but also for the leftists, so that they would wake up and understand that mass shootings are not prevented by gun laws.
His party colleague, who is running for the House of Representatives in the autumn elections by Laverne Spicer the tweet he posted right after the shooting had a mischievous tone.
– Shooting in Copenhagen, Denmark, where guns are banned. Oh guys, I can’t wait for the left to explain how that happened.
Spicer later posted another tweet saying he was thinking and praying for the victims, but also said he hated not only gun violence, but bad people who want to take away guns from the nation.
The Danes were shocked by the American comments
– I have no words for how inappropriate and disgusting this tweet is, Ladekarl writes in his tweet to Spicer.
Denmark’s former Minister of Culture, Green MP Uffe Elbæk has in turn responded to Boebert and Spicer that he was shocked by the lack of empathy shown by them.
– What’s wrong with you Republicans? Where is your empathy? Where is your respect [uhrien] towards family and relatives? Where is your decency, Elbæk asks in his answer to Boebert.
– This says everything about the political situation in the USA. Shame, Elbæk writes in another tweet sent to Spicer.
